Montague Summers”

“You will destroy us all, Griselle,” I tell her. “You must run back further in the park.” She looks at me and smiles (she was always a brave girl) and makes her own choice. “I would not bring you harm, Martin,” she says, and she runs down the steps and out toward the trees. But she must be tired. She does not run very fast and the storm troopers have caught sight of her. I am helpless. I go in the house and in a few minutes she stops screaming, and in the morning I have the body sent down to the village for burial. She was a fool to come to Germany. Poor little Griselle. I grieve with you, but as you see, I was helpless to aid her. I must now demand you do not write again. Every word that comes to the house is now censored, and I cannot tell how soon they may start to open the mail to the bank. And I will no longer have any dealings with Jews, except for the receipt of money. It is not so good for me that a Jewess came here for refuge, and no further association can be tolerated. A”
― Kathrine Kressmann Taylor, quote from Address Unknown

“من دیگر آن آدمی نیستم که دو سال پیش بودم. حالا اگر به من می‌گفتند اجازه دارم یک انسان را به عنوان همنشین آرزو کنم، حتماً دلم می‌خواست زن سالمندی باشد، یک زن زیرک و شوخ‌طبع که بتوانم هر از گاهی به او بخندم. هنوز خیلی دلم هوای خنده می‌کند. ولی حتماً او هم قبل از من می‌مرد و من دوباره تنها می‌شدم و وضع بدتر از وقتی می‌شد که هرگز با او آشنا نشده بودم. در آن صورت باید بهای گزافی برای خندیدن می‌پراختم. بعد هم مجبور می‌شدم به یاد او هم باشم و این دیگر بیش از حد تحملم بود. اکنون هم تنها پوست نازکی هستم که به روی کوهی از خاطرات کشیده باشند. دیگر بس است. اگر این پوست شکافته شود، چه بر سر من خواهد آمد؟”
― Marlen Haushofer, quote from The Wall

“My God, John. The king has begun to shoot his subjects.”
― Jeff Shaara, quote from Rise to Rebellion

“He set out to destroy me, but he fell in love with me instead. I fell in love with him, and that's what destroyed me in the end.”
― J.M. Darhower, quote from Monster in His Eyes

“Babamukuru was always impressive when he made these speeches of his. He was a rigid, imposing perfectionist, steely enough in character to function in the puritanical way that he expected, or rather insisted, that the rest of the world should function. Luckily, or maybe unluckily for him, throughout his life Babamukuru had found himself - as eldest child and son, as an early educated African, as headmaster, as husband and father, as provider to many - in positions that enabled him to organise his immediate world and its contents as he wished. Even when this was not the case, as when he went to the mission as a young boy, the end result of such periods of submission was greater power than before. Thus he had been insulated from the necessity of considering alternatives unless they were his own. Stoically he accepted his divinity. Filled with awe, we accepted it too. We used to marvel at how benevolent that divinity was. Babamukuru was good. We all agreed on this. More significantly still, Babamukuru was right.”
― Tsitsi Dangarembga, quote from Nervous Conditions

About BookQuoters

BookQuoters is a community of passionate readers who enjoy sharing the most meaningful, memorable and interesting quotes from great books. As the world communicates more and more via texts, memes and sound bytes, short but profound quotes from books have become more relevant and important. For some of us a quote becomes a mantra, a goal or a philosophy by which we live. For all of us, quotes are a great way to remember a book and to carry with us the author’s best ideas.

We thoughtfully gather quotes from our favorite books, both classic and current, and choose the ones that are most thought-provoking. Each quote represents a book that is interesting, well written and has potential to enhance the reader’s life. We also accept submissions from our visitors and will select the quotes we feel are most appealing to the BookQuoters community.

Founded in 2023, BookQuoters has quickly become a large and vibrant community of people who share an affinity for books. Books are seen by some as a throwback to a previous world; conversely, gleaning the main ideas of a book via a quote or a quick summary is typical of the Information Age but is a habit disdained by some diehard readers. We feel that we have the best of both worlds at BookQuoters; we read books cover-to-cover but offer you some of the highlights. We hope you’ll join us.
